First Trailer For ‘Jobs’ Biopic Released

Ashton Kutcher’s portrayal of Apple 's co-founder in the new movie, “Jobs,” is on its way to theaters later this summer–and now there’s a trailer to give viewers a taste of what is on the way.

The film focuses on key parts of Steve Jobs‘ life, as well as the founding, stumbles and eventual revival of Apple.

This is of course not the only attempt at retelling the man’s life. Walter Isaacson’s authorized biography of the man, titled “Steve Jobs,” was released shortly after he died in October of 2011. The paperback version is coming in the fall, as well.

Regardless, the first trailer is out. It primarily focuses on the younger Jobs, the beginning of Apple, the famous boardroom coup that kicked him out and his later return to the company.

There’s also an interesting allusion to the present, in which the younger Jobs yells into a phone, supposedly with Microsoft 'sBill Gates on the other end, threatening to sue for ripping off Apple’s ideas. Now with Apple embroiled in numerous lawsuits with Samsung Electronics and Google 'sMotorola unit over smartphone patents, it offers an interesting image of the man who said, “I’m willing to go thermonuclear war on this,” when discussing patent suits with his biographer.
